The QFC on 192nd in Vancouver still has some Betty Crocker potatoes available. There were some .50/2 coupons on the creamy butter mashed potatoes. However, someone took them off most of the boxes. Not cool

I had the same problem, also went to Barnes location and one checker said limit of 5 transactions per person, once again not complaining. I was getting frosting I had forgotten, and a checker(different one) thanked me for coming again, I thanked her for not minding. I have had great service there! syne things picked over but all lots of Mac

This really bums me out….Now that I’m off work and can go… everything is gone it sounds like… 🙁 I had planned on giving mine to Meals on Wheels…. I cant believe someone took 80 boxes! Thats the kind of order you phone in and not clear the shelves please…

Went to 2 QFC closet to our house, NE Burnside and 33rd, the shelves were cleared of all BC products. At both stores, the stock room person told me some lady with a big binder came in early today and took all of them- all 80 boxes. One word: HOARDER.

If they are allowing 10 rewards, 10×5 is still 50 boxes. They only had 80 boxes for hundreds of people. Once again having a sale to get people in the door but not adequate supply! Shame on them we will have to start calling them RiteAide. But I do agree 80 boxes is ALOT.

Randi, what do you mean by “rewards”? Are you talking about catalinas? Is this total or per day? I went to both these stores today and knew Bethany was limiting to one transaction. At Barnes I was able to do 3 transactions.

Yeah 10 Catalina’s per person at the Barnes. I’m not sure if its per day or per person. The person on the phone said they are just limiting it to 10 rewards (Catalina’s). So I’m hoping its per day, but I’m not driving that far to go to that one store lol.

Yesterday you would get a $5 cat for every 5 items even in orders of 10, 15 etc. I bought 15 items in one transaction and got 3 – $5 cats.
Today I bought 10 items and only received 1 cat. They rerung the second order to give me the other cat.
The checker said she had done 15 items yesterday, too and received the 3 cats.
The registers have been reprogrammed between yesterday and today. Don’t know why. Just makes more work for them!!
